"These Mets have been on the clock since they showed up for spring training. Actually, even before that, from the moment Francisco Lindor grounded into that season-ending double play on Sept. 28 at Miami's loanDepot Park."
"Another reason to worry? Jorge Polanco's Achilles discomfort now seems more problematic than originally thought. Polanco hasn't manned first base since Saturday and was kept out of the lineup Friday for the second time in four games."
""I'm not going to say concerned, but it's day-to-day," Carlos Mendoza said before Friday's game. "He's got days where he feels it more. For the past couple days he was in a pretty good place until [Thursday] night, so we'll have to continue to monitor it.""
The Mets' struggles are not just a result of a poor start to the season but stem from a history of disappointing performances. The team has faced significant challenges since last June, leading to a pressing need for a strong start in 2026. Jorge Polanco's Achilles discomfort adds to the team's worries, as he has missed games and his role is crucial for the lineup. The management is monitoring his condition closely while considering other options for the first base position.
